Take supplements
Woman's Weekly, July 6, 2004
Most alternative practitioners agree that a combination of factors today means that it's virtually impossible to get all the nutrients you require from food alone. The supplements you take will depend on your individual needs, and you may need to research this, and/or consult a qualified nutritionist. But a good starting point for everyone is a daily multivitamin/multimineral. Other supplements that will benefit most of us are essential fatty acids - in the form of fish oil, and also vitamin C. Internationally renown nutritionist Patrick Holford sats we should all be taking 1g of vitamin C per day.
If you are worried about lined skin, forget Botox and try supplementing with a protein called collagen. Research shows that replacing the collagen in our bodies (which naturally declines as we age) can improve the look of skin, hair and nails - with the added bonus that it can also ease join pain. Natural Laboratories Collagen meets the dose and quality standards of published trials and is available in capsules, or sachets for dissolving in water, price £39.95 for a month's supply.
